Paddy Ashdown Visited Liverpool

ONE of the most interesting British political leaders of the post-war generation was in the newly opened Liverpool One, Waterstones Book Shop on Saturday, 2 May 2009. Rt Hon. Lord Paddy Ashdown GCMG KBE, a former Royal Marine Commando and a founding member of the Liberal Democrats was pictured here joking with the public, press and staff, at his book signing, 'A Fortunate Life' in the Liverpool store. One of the many people who turned out to see him said:- "I was not expecting him to be so friendly and down to earth. He often comes across in the media as deadly serious and I am so happy I got to see his fun side!" Another said:- "It is so refreshing. It is hard to imagine anything less like a traditional modern politician." If you get a chance to read this book, it is a fantastic insight into the man. "Paddy Ashdown, is in many people's minds, a man of action and also one of human flaws and that is what makes him an ideal role model for other polititians to follow. I just hope they make notes!" one of the members of the public commented, just after they had their book signed.
